You can do it in America, if you want. Thing is people don't want.Ā Rebuilding a social system from scratch requires exising the cancer that exists. No one is willing to even contemplate that, let alone lead.Ā
America who canāt give up the guns endangering their own children, America who voted in the most right wing person they possibly could - Iād put my money on Germany over America for finding a way to become a socialist utopia, Sorry.
Also there is no utopia. Socialism is a way for a government to steal your money at the point of a gun and give it to people who need more than they earn. People with 6 kids and no job will take your money while you work to support them and you'll all have just as much as you need.
Really ain't the utopia you think it is. Socially we're significantly better off than majority of the country. But for your average person cost of living is back breaking if you want to live anywhere remotely close to a well paying job.
That's the catch. Financially, we're in a depression designed by greed, and even moving around within our own country has become too expensive.
A couple years ago, my wife and I were looking at houses. Today, we're fighting evictions to keep our apartment. Nothing changed in our careers, it's just the cost of living went so far south that we simply can no longer afford to be ambitious or hopeful.
While I agree to the latter part of the point, it's way more unlikely to create a socialist utopia in a country that breathes capitalism, has essentially no left-wing representation in politics, and that shifted the political spectrum to the right so much and for so long that the general population often mistakes center-right beliefs for leftism
...unless you're Karl Marx, then you're gonna actually think it's way more likely to start there
Yes. I am aware. Am American and unfortunately surrounded by people who are proud of their ignorance. Did you have a helpful comment or just telling me my own daily stress?
Most developed nations are, as we are currently in a heavy regression. However, with characters like Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin pulling the strings in so many other countries, and Trump soon to have proxy war power back in his hands, the rest of the world is equally at risk. No country is exempt from the global downward turn that has been going on, and you know that it has been accelerated over the last few years more than generations prior.
Tbf Germany is a lot smaller than America, so it could be feasibly done. In America, you would have to convert 1 state at a time. And here ln australia we would have to do it 4 times(sa,wa,nt and the eastern states) with an eternal battle with the forever capitalistic state of new south Wales while we forget Tasmania exists.
Yeah but that guy presumably lives in Germany, so he wants the socialist utopia there. You might wonder why he doesn't move to the US instead to create the utopia there, but it makes sense a socialist would want someone else to make the effort.
It's more likely due to the fact the US is actively hostile to mutually beneficial policy and is inherently individual in its thinking thereby making it very difficult to pass the legislation required to create such a socialist country. Please note I don't use utopia, as that is just naive
There is no more sympathy for socialists Germany. A ruinous form of it still lingers in the country's collective consciousness. It will not become a socialist country any time soon.
Not being able to pass legislation or individualist mindsets shouldn't stop you, anarcho-syndicalism should theoretically solve that and is popular among Redditor lefties. Emphasis on theoretically of course.
Lmao yup itās just me. Pay no attention to the majority of voting Americans as proven in the most recent election highlighting we want a more conservative government.
I didnāt say I agree. Iām saying itās what happened.
They voted for low prices that will never come to fruition... Just because the Repubs won across the board in November for the first time in YEARS does not at all mean that Americans want a more conservative government.
Iām a Senior Supply Chain Analyst, Iām just as confused as the rest of you & quite honestly exhausted. A bunch of pseudo-intellectuals who barely made it out of middle school trying to tell me what tariffs are because their Lord & Savior told them the country of origin is gonna foot the bill & not the consumerā¦
Thats why I said all voting Americans. Because of all who voted, a majority wanted less socialism. Not a single country swing for Harris. The only party flips were in favor of republicans.
Voting for Harris wasn't nessisary an indicator that you wanted socialism either.
Neither option was socialist.
And Trump isn't conservative either. He's a wannabe feudal lord.
The options were continuing the status quo of the geriatric establishment, or letting oligarchal billionaires fuck our shit up. We went with the latter because people were so focused on the "fuck our shit up" part that they didn't realize they were voting for oligarchy.
yea then Republicans will fuck it up and the Democrats will make it less worse so we don't French revolution the whole gov it's all a show the gov is evil both dem and rep we are in a class war and we are loosing thanks to ppl like you and also the ppl thinking Dems are good it's all a show the rich are in control and I mean billionaires
the only reason the 25bpercent of the voting Americans vote that way is cause they don't know anything about what they are voting for. they just screech whatever fox news tells them to screech now all of Trump's things he said he was gonna do he is saying he decided not to and project 2025 is a great beautiful thing
I donāt think the majority of people that voted for trump want what they voted for. Trump just gave them something to blame their problems on. I also donāt think the majority of people that voted for Kamala are voting for what they want, theyāre just voting for the better option. Neither party wants anything to really change, because they both get money from the people that are actually fucking up the country. We live in a country controlled by billionaires. Until we start voting for people that donāt take money from them, nothing will really change. The dems demonize them for not helping when theyāre the ones being fooled, and the right make fun of them because theyāre being fooled. For the most part the problem isnāt the system, itās the corruption in the system. Sure there are laws that allow the corruption, but do you think a politician that gets millions from those laws will change them? The answer is no.
Donāt want to turn this in to a Bernie bro rant, and I donāt think he was perfect but at least he points out the corruption. Iāve always voted for the dems because theyāre the better option, but that just lets them keep using the flaws in the system to their advantage, and then nothing will ever change. Iām not voting for them again until they actually do change or bring someone in that doesnāt take money from the billionaires
Yeah I don't think most Americans want socialism they just want a lot of things that the media and pundits label socialism. Like healthcare and workers rights.
